Three people are in police custody following a police chase that emerged out of Old Town Saturday night that sent two people to the hospital.

The chase spurred from an incident that occurred shortly after 11 p.m. in the King Street corridor where a police officer attempted to pull over a suspicious vehicle, police spokesperson Ashley Hildebrandt said.

“They didn’t want to get pulled over, so they tried to ram the cruiser,” Hildebrandt said. “They didn’t hit the cruiser, but they managed to get by. The officer went after.”
